Is Hanging q Painless Dsath ?
Chicago Journal

AS November IL approaches I hear,
with increasing FIRE quency, joaular specu.
latiors on the painiulness or painlessness
of death by hanging; and it reminds ne
Of an interview had with the late DR..
Jewell On this subj CT at the time that
Gniteau WIS hanged. This eminent
specialist in diseases of the brain and ner-
v0us system Insisted that death by hang
ing was always and O. necessity painless.
He even went so far as to say
that death by strspgulatiop, where
the neck was not broken, wss painless.
Where the axis and atlas sire pulled
spsrt, he said the rupture or even the
scratching of the spinal cord produces
instantaneous Inconsistencies, anc
where the Aeck is not broken, and the
breath is simply shut of, the rush OF IN
serated blood TO the brain produces 90
almost instantaneous stupor, like that
produced by opium. He said that al the
people VINO had been partially hanged
and resuscitated corroborated these
a priori judgments. But these assur-
ances have never Afforded the slight st
comfort TO people who have had to
leave this world by that route; and there
is one very sound reason for believing
that people who are hanged are in con-
sciOus agony. at least in some instances,
after the drop has fallen. Why sre the
hands tied? Simply because, if they are
not, they find their way to the throat st

Miss Kate Eddy, who some years
ago made quite sensation in N ew
York through her spiritualistic man
ifestations, will make her first appear
ance in this city tonight Sunday
at the Opera House. All reports
agree that her seance is extraordin-
airy, to degree remarkable, unex-
celled by any seance of the kind be-
fore the public. Miss Eddy leaves
her audience free to draw it's own
inference as to the motive force of
her manifestations, neither claiming
as some do, to have the aid of super
natural powers, nor confessing that
she is alone dependent on her own
expertness and dexterity. She,
however, propounds the one query
to all who inquire of her. eff 1 do
not have invisible aid, pray tell me
how / do these things ?' A dimin-
utive, highly nervous, but bright,
intelligent and pretty woman, she
seems to be wholly without the
physical power to do one half the
feats that are always made a
regular part of her seance. At the
Opera House tonight the skeptical
may be represented upon the stage
with liberty to subject the little lady
to any reasonable test and free to
detect. what they can.

COLUSA AROUSED.
Murder0us Attack by a China
man .Lynching Threatened.


CoLUsA, September 15th,-Stew-
art Harris, leading citizen of Co.
lusa, was attacked about 9 O'clock
tonight by his Chinese cook. His
family are now in San Francisco,
and he was alone in the house. As
he started to 60 to bed he looked
under it, and saw the Chinaman
there. He told him to come out,
which he did, and attacked Harris
with a Ratchet. The lamp was also
broken and a fire started.
Mr.. Harris called for help, and
his neighbors fortunately happened
to be near by and ran to his assist
ance, when the Chinaman ran out
the back way. Two small gashes
in the head were the only injuries
received, and no fatal result is an
ticipated.
The people are much excited,
and the fate of Hong DI will surely
be his if the Chinaman is captured.
1t is now claimed as a well known
fact that CONSUL Bee and all the
Chinese have known of the where
abouts of Hong Di all the time.
The talk is that the Chinese here
will be notified to bring the muir
derous heather out or leave
town in a body. This thing of hav-
ing a separate government of their
own is being played out.
LATER.-The Chinaman has been
arrested and Jailed.

There is no excuse for this extreme

When people who have all their
lives been utter strangers are
thrown together at Lake Tahoe for
a few weeks they get pretty well
acquainted, and feel that when they
part they ought to give each other
their addresses and invite a call.
All the while, however, each one
feels that they don't specially
banker after any calls. AS they
separate, generally forever, the dia.
logue runs like this:
"'Now, be sure and call when you
come to the city"
elf you ever come to Sacramento
1 shall expect you to dine with
u.s."
"Oh, I shan't fail"
CHOW, if you don't call on us in
Oakland We shall feel awfully
sighted.
"Don't fail to enquire of me in
Virginia City,"
"Now, don't forget 3,64s Grove
street."
"My number is 627 K street,
near 18th"
Remember now, 1,36s Califor-
mia street."
"Oh, yes"
"Oh, yes"
"Good bye"
"Good bye"
The curious and never-omitted
feature of the scene that when all
these numbers and streets are being
hurled back and forth, nobody ever
seems to think of pulling out a note
book and making a memorandum,
simply because nobody in the gush-
ing CROWD ever cares a continental
whether they ever meet Miss Shocks
| and her aged sister-in-law or not.
Later on Mrs. Smith says:
"John, was it Oakland or San
Francisco that that Miss whats-'er-
name said she lived in"
"Damfno."
"Well, / guess it's just as well.
anyhow, nobody took down our sd-
dresses, and I guess we're safe.

A smiling, scrawny- bearded old IN an TODD
| on the front end of a west bound Madison
| street car late Saturday afternoon, His only
companion was the driver.
We're COM to have wind to -morrer," said
the old man with a en- file. "See how red the
sky is IN the west. That's sure sign of
wind. and plenty on 1t, too. 1t may come
afore m idnight."
The driver leaned one arm on the brake and
turned round with a serious face.
Its comm from the nor'w west, too" he
SAID with much gravity. as he sQulnteu his
owlsh eyes at the blazing horizon. "Pve seen
those things afore now, and the wind allus
comes from That pint when the sky is red.
Dye see the dust go up spiral fashion over
there by the curb? Well that's anuther sign.
That's sign that the wind is going ter blow
cold. an goln' ter blow for two days or MORE"
1--WE seen nuJner sign, too" SMILED he
old man. taking a fresh chew OF tobacco.
Have you noticed the amount OF waddin'
the sparrers are putin inter their nests this
year? That's a sure indication that it S goin'
to be cold epr ng. The last time seen the
sDarrers luggin' bedquilts and old mutfiers ter
the nests there were only three seasons in
the year. 1t was winter until July, then
there were three months of spring, ald then
il was winter again. All the garden truck
that was planted didn't come up until the
fo,lerin' year, when the fruit trees bore two
crops"
That was some time ago, wasn't it?" asked
the driver, with a wise look.
"Ies, yes, several yeas ago-nigh onto
forty, / reckon" replied the OLD man.
Then there's heen more winters than sum-
mers In this country, eh?
mo-" bout IA years arter that l noticed
that the sparrefs bulit two nests instead OF
one. These nests were jined together by little
avenOos OF dried grass. The she sparrer
would hatch brood in one nest. and then
walk through the avenOo to the other nest
aud go ter hatchin' again. while the he bird
would tend ter the youngsters in the first
nest. The season was SO long that the spar
rers Matched from May ter May. and that's
the reason why we've got so many sparrers
to-day"
Whispered the driver.
"Nut o fake, ;" replied the old man.
When The driver reached the barn he told
the starter that he guessed he had better lay
of the rest of the day. There had been two
remarkable changes IN the weather on his
last trip. he said, and ne was afraid that I'M
less he went right home he would come down
with something worse than the small -poX.

There Is growing interest in the

Washington during the latter part of May.
The ground and the name tor the encamp.
ment have been selected. The en-
campment will be located near the Wash.
ington monument, and will be called
Camp George Washington" The loca.
tion is a very delightful one. 1t is only a
few steps from the main avenue of the
city, and the whole population can reach
II in very short time without any con.
siderable expense.
OF course 1t is expected that large
number of troops will be present to com.
pete for the prizes, which are we'll worth
competing for. 1t is Estimated that there
will be fully 1900 troops present. 1t lie
probable. however, that that estimate is
altogether too high. II is thought that
about all the Southern states will be rep.
resented. as inquiries respecting certain
details have been received from military
organizations In all of them.
This drill will doubtless be the largest
and finest of the kind that has ever been
witnessed III this country. IL is the in
tention Of its promoters to make it come
up to expectations, and il they do that
they will have nothing to regret.
The interstate commerce law may prove
an obstacle to the success o! the drill. Il
IS probable that it will be impossible to
secure reduced rates, and that may keen
many military organizations from AT.
tending. There may be so much en-.
thusiasm about the drill. however, before
the time fixed for it arrives that many
or the companies which desire to take
part in it syill have no difficulty In secur
ing the necessary means by popular sub
criptione.

In Kansas the political millennium

chance to make a supreme test of their

Mayor, Council, ETC., is composed of
women, who were unanimously uOmi-
mated. Stockton is on the south fork OF
Solomon river, and has recently voted to

OF this important matter will be
left to the women, who will have to let
all contracts, see that contractors perform
their work properly, pay of the men, and
supervise things generally. The town is
on the central branch OF Missouri Pa

year, and the women will have an oppor-
